Brilliant. Since todays ruler video, I'm binging older ruler videos lol

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Haha. So glad you're enjoying the rulers! They really are great tools once you know how to use them! ;) Thank you so much for watching. - Morgan

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Creative Grid are my favorite rulers! They grip, but are not hard to move around on your fabric. Love them!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

So glad you love them as much as we do! It's so nice that they don't grip the fabric until you want them to. Thank you so much for watching! - Morgan

[@lauriemyers3]

I LOVE this ruler! I have 4 different CG rulers of different sizes and I couldn’t....wouldn’t....quilt without them. Again, thanks to Tammy for turning me on to them!📏💜

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're so happy to hear that! These are the best rulers, and they make quilting so much easier! - Morgan

[@barbaralevel7225]

Please do more videos about using the Creative Grid rulers to cut ,for some of us who do not know how to use them to their fullest.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for that request!! I'll pass that on to our team! - Morgan

[@barbaralevel7225]

I love them because they are clear and I can see through them. Only ones I usually buy.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes!! We love them for that reason, too! - Morgan

[@michellerennepowar2773]

Thank you very much for sharing the creative grid rulers with us. I Love there rulers. They are awesome.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You're welcome! :) So glad you enjoyed the video and these rulers are the best!! - Morgan

[@BrandiTalmadge]

Your explanation of applying and not applying pressure to the ruler has made me want to give a Creative Grids ruler a try again. I didn't like it the first time using one as it was sticking to the fabric when aligning the ruler to the fabric and I think now, after seeing your tutorial, I must've been applying too much pressure when attempting to move the ruler to the spot I wanted it before cutting. A thimble size full of knowledge makes all the difference - thank you!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We had the same trouble until Tammy showed us! I think you'll like them a lot this time around, and you're right, a thimble size full of knowledge makes all the difference! Thank you so much for watching. - Morgan

[@robinaruzza2128]

This is one of my favorite rulers, but I never think to turn it and use the ends....thank you for that simple suggestion. It makes the ruler that much more useful.😀

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You're so welcome! It's not something we thought of, either, until Tammy showed us, and it makes so much sense now! :) - Morgan

[@memefraser3961]

Thank you. I have 2 Creative Grids ruler and didn’t know how to use them. I was confused. Thank you 🧵🧵🇨🇦

[@ShabbyFabrics]

So glad this was helpful for you! They take a little bit of practice but once you use them you will LOVE them. - Morgan

[@milesia1269]

Love this I need this in my life like last year. 😀

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Isn't it the best?! We love it! - Morgan

[@deborahfitzer6877]

This is one of my favorite Creative Grids rulers! My other favs are the 2.5 x 24 and the corner clipper !

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We agree with you! Those are all our favorite rulers, too! - Morgan

[@kseitz1]

It was time for me to replace my worn out 6x24 Creative Grids ruler. I noticed the major improvements! And I truly believe these are the best. But my ruler still moves. It must be the way I’m applying pressure. So I bought the Cutrite Handigrabber that you featured recently. I’m hooked!! Strips on all my rulers. Huge improvement!! Thank you!!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

They really have made a lot of improvements, which is what we love about them! And the HandiGrabber strips are perfect for that! So glad that was helpful for you, and thank you so much for watching! - Morgan

[@marylynch282]

I use smaller weights 1lb, or 3 lbs. That helps. I have also seen some people use shower grippers that are used when getting in and of tube. Dont know price difference

[@cindyfollmar4515]

Creative Grids are my favorite rulers, too.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

They really are the best! - Morgan

[@godsspecialchild86]

I just bought my first Creative Grid ruler, the 6 1/2 square ruler and its amazing! I didn't actually think the fabric would stay put under this ruler! I'm so glad that the 1/2 lines are on there too, because I would have to go find it on a regular ruler. Now all I have to do its flip the ruler around. Yea, I'm like Tammy's friend, I found some stash and cut 5 inch and 2 1/2 squares from it. I don't know what I'll do with them, but one day I'll use them! ;) Also, when I get a longer ruler, I'll use it sideways also!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

So glad you're enjoying the Creative Grids! And SUCH a good idea to cut out Charm Squares and Mini Charm Squares with your stash fabrics! We love all of these helpful suggestions. Also, using the ruler sideways really is so helpful, and something I hadn't thought to do until Tammy taught us! Thank you so much for watching. - Morgan

Sheila Waterfield of Leicester, England essentially started Creative Grids® in 1989. The family-owned business at the time involved plastics. She realized that the scraps from the plastics company could be turned into templates for her quilting friends. Soon the Waterfield's had developed a variety of quilting templates.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's an amazing story, we didn't know that! Thank you for sharing that with us.

[@belyndamulloy33]

I love that!!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you so much for watching!! :) - Morgan

[@liljuicebox7981]

Bought it thanks!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you! :) You're going to LOVE it! - Morgan

[@larissawangarodskaya4371]

Я очень люблю линейки этой фирмы! Очень удобно! И не скользит!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Они делают лучшие правители! Спасибо за просмотр! - Морган

[@bmrs.g7108]

Love love and love thanks for breaking down how to use this creative ruler and yes there are (symbols) lol love it! now I have a question you have a mat how big is this mat? I’m looking for a big mat like that for my grandmother thanks

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Our cutting mat measures to about 60" x 32" to put it in perspective for you. :) - Beth

[@brendajos]

I have a bunch of creative grids rules that I never use because the markings really confuse me. I wish I could make them make sense in my head. I only use them if they are the exact size I need for squaring up. This is sad because they weren't cheap and seemed so popular...but I just find myself flipping them around and around trying to find the right markings. Maybe, as suggested, more videos about them to help them work in the brains of those of us who just don't get it. :)

[@ShabbyFabrics]

I'll definitely let our team know you'd like to see more videos on these! They're a little difficult to get used to, but when it clicks, you'll love these! - Morgan

[@Ronibearable]

Please tell us what brand that large cutting mat is on your table.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

It's a Mega Mat! - Morgan

[@marylynch282]

What angle lines are marked on the ruler? Be nice to see a video on how to use the angle ljnes.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for letting us know you'd like to see that! I'll let our team know! - Morgan

[@m78lejeune]

Will it work also for left handed cutting?

[@bn9242]

Yes

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes it will!! - Morgan

[@ssw1950]

I will have to try a smaller one since I don’t have that much room

[@ShabbyFabrics]

This one folds in half for smaller storage! - Morgan
